“Terra” Barbera 2021
Lively bright ruby red. Initially slightly reductive on the nose, Terra soon reveals its great spicy profile of small red forest fruits, medicinal herbs and nutty notes. On the palate with medium pressure, a very pleasant dynamic and great drinking flow. The lively and refreshing acidity, together with its likeable red fruitiness, make it an excellent food companion. An exceptional Barbera that will still be fun to drink many years from now. SUPERIORE.DE

Barbera d’Alba Superiore DOC 2021
Fontanabianca has created an elegant and densely packed Barbera. It shows the exuberance and potential of the grape, yet with appropriate restraint. It is neither jammy nor too fruity, but indulges with a fine dose of dried cherry, blackberry and plum aromas, plus some Spanish cedar with a fine citrus note. A balanced drop with a beautiful final. SUPERIORE.DE
"A taut, black cherry– and plum-flavored red, with accents of earth and spices. Reveals a firm, tactile edge to the light tannins on the finish." Wine Spectator
"The Fontanabianca 2021 Barbera d'Alba Superiore is very rich and extracted with a heavy fruit quality reminiscent of dried blackberries, plums, spices and dried tobacco leaves. The finish shows soft, earthy notes and a full-bodied texture. This Barbera is on the bigger and bolder side of the spectrum." Wine Advocate
"This wine is fruit-driven and chocolaty with blue flowers and an undertone of liquorice. Medium to full-bodied, juicy and taut with polished tannins and a tasty, savoury finish." James Suckling

Bright ruby and a full bouquet of dark berry fruit such as blackcurrant, the Fontanelle shows in the glass. Its primary aromas emerge with an incredible freshness, simplicity and directness. Dense and round, the juicy, fresh taste unfolds on the palate with Barbera-typical acidity and well-integrated tannin.

“Sentieri” Barbera Marca Obertenga 2021
The Barbera vines for Sentieri, which are over 30 years old, stand at an altitude of about 300 m on predominantly calcareous soils in the natural amphitheatre of Monleale. It shows the stark opposite of an opulent, dense style. Sentieri has a beautiful Italian freshness and is 100% focused on the primary fruit of the Barbera grape. It presents plenty of race and a personality that is distinguishedly restrained and very well balanced. For us, this is Barbera at its purest and here Walter Massa impressively proves that he is not only capable of top performance with the white Timorasso. And once again we are more than taken with the excellent value his wines. SUPERIORE.DE

Barbera d’Alba DOC 2023
"The Barbera d'Alba DOC is a typical wine of our region. Thanks to careful selection, excellent locations and low yields, we obtain very high quality grapes that produce complex wines. We have decided to vinify it only in steel to emphasise its fruity notes." Franco Massolino
The Barbera d'Alba from Massolino is all about the fresh and juicy fruit. Interesting bouquet with beautifully integrated aromas of forest floor and mushrooms. Fresh and lively on the palate, very accessible and with an impressive drinking flow. Exotic and forward, it brings a lot of fun to the glass - a fresh, sincere and finely balanced expression of the Barbera grape! SUPERIORE.DE

Le Rocchette is a powerful, driving Barbera d'Asti Superiore. Dried rose petals, crushed rock, iron, incense and red-coloured fruit impart a remarkable mineral and savoury intensity. This deceptively medium-bodied Barbera has enormous power. It is a great example of Asti at its best. Floral accents lift the balsamic and savoury finish. SUPERIORE.DE

“Trevigne” Barbera d’Alba DOC 2021
In contrast to the past, this full and fragrant Barbera is now aged to a greater percentage in large oak barrels - and less in barriques. This benefits the softness, fruitiness and suppleness of this beautiful wine. Tre Vigne means that the grapes come in equal parts from the top vineyards Mosconi, Ginestra and San Pietro. Deep dark ruby red. The bouquet has a fine scent of sour cherries and violets, the full and soft taste has a pleasantly fresh acidity that refines the long drinking pleasure. SUPERIORE.DE
"Ripe, somewhat toasty nose, with brooding black fruits. Good fruit concentration, structure and intensity with candied, ripe and fresh plum flavours. The fresh acidity is balanced by moderate tannins. A long finish that is very bright and youthful." Decanter
"The Domenico Clerico 2021 Barbera d'Alba Trevigne is a particularly fruit-driven wine with blackberries, dark plums and spices. Winemaker Oscar Arrivabene says this is a very good year for Barbera. The wine feels lush and soft on the palate and goes well with cheese-filled pasta." Wine Advocate
"Intense ruby red with violet shimmer. In the nose ripe plum and blackberry, behind pepper and tobacco. On the palate juicy start, great tension, refreshing acidity, polished tannin, animating, discreetly salty final." Falstaff

“Per Sbaglio” Barbera d’Alba Superiore DOP 2020
This is the fourth vintage of a truly fortuitous product. Paolo actually wanted to plant more Moscato vines in this 1.5 ha small and sustainably cultivated vineyard when he recognised the quality of the Barbera grapes ripening there in 2016. So, without further ado, he decided to vinify a Barbera, which he then aptly named "Per Sbaglio" - which means "by mistake". We congratulate him on this decision, just 3,000 bottles of which reach the market every year. Rich, sparkling ruby red. Classic ripe raspberry notes on the nose, red berries again on the palate, very rounded, full-bodied and with great drinking flow. SUPERIORE.DE

Alcohol is excellently integrated, appears slender, elegant and silky. Typical, pleasant bitter note on the long finish." Vinum
"Soft and imbued with cherry, blackberry and earthy flavours, this red wine is fleshy from start to finish. Almond and spice accents are evident on the finish, along with light tannins." Wine Spectator
"The 2020 Barbera d'Asti Montebruna is a powerful and rich red wine with notes of ripe berries, roasted spices, cinnamon and grilled Mediterranean herbs. Despite its strength and vigour, the mouthfeel is supported by a fresh acidity and a strong alcohol content of 15%." Wine Advocate
"Aromas of cherry chocolate, dark liquorice, hints of bark and damp earth. Full-bodied with a velvety, supple tannin structure and a slightly chalky texture on the finish. Juicy and full of flavour." James Suckling
"The Barbera d'Asti Montebruna 2020 is dark and lush from the start. Spices, leather, tobacco, menthol, dried flowers and mocha all come together as this intense, lush Asti Barbera shows its considerable charm. In 2021, the Montebruna is quite dense and brooding, but all elements are impeccably balanced." Vinous
"This wine opens with aromas of fresh and macerated black cherries that transition to wild flowers, savoury spices and wild herbs. The palate is concentrated with lush ripe red and blackberries, cola and sweet spices. The wine is round and fleshy and is balanced by the natural acidity of the Barbera itself." Wine Enthusiast

The grapes for the Barbera d'Alba Tre Vigne, which impresses every year, come mainly from vineyards in Castiglione Falletto, with a small proportion of the fruit coming from Ravera.

Tre Vigne Barbera is lush and racy to the core and shines from start to finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2021 Barbera d'Asti Tre Vigne is a fabulous, explosive wine. Sumptuous dark cherry, ripe plum, mocha, licorice and new leather are all dialed up to the maximum. This racy, deep Barbera is tremendous. For its quality-to-price ratio, the Asti Tre Vigne might be the wine of the year at Vietti." Vinous
"Notes of ripe plums and blackberries with dark, spicy chocolate, damp bark and wet tarmac. Juicy and racy on the palate with medium to full body and lively acidity. Exciting with dusty tannins and a seamless, long finish." James Suckling
"The Tre Vigne Barbera impresses year after year. This 2021 is full of ripe and macerated black cherries with sweet and savoury spices coming in and out. As it progresses, earthy and floral flavours develop, pampering the palate with tart blackberries, allspice and bay leaves, while the finish is accompanied by a strong acidity." Wine Enthusiast

“Bansella” Barbera Nizza DOCG 2019
Intense ruby red. Opulent in the glass with notes of dark fruit flesh, flowers and liquorice. Very supple and seductive on the palate, with a very precise fruit-acid game and a remarkable freshness for the noble denomination of Nice. Complex and long in the further course, nice potential.

The importance of the red Barbera grape in Piedmont and large parts of Lombardy can only be compared with the position of Sangiovese in central Italy. The Barbera is a robust vine. It is relatively hardy, insensitive to spring frosts and not particularly susceptible to disease. On top of that, it reliably generates economic returns. Because of the high growth strength, leaves and shoot tips have to be cut back several times in summer. The grapes do not ripen as late as those of Nebbiolo, but later than those of Dolcetto.
Barbera wine is characterised by its intense ruby red colour and aromas often compared to wild cherries, violets or vanilla. Barbera produces wines with a low tannin content. However, the plants do not appear boring or flat because they are carried by a very strong acidity. The Barbera can retain this acidity during the ripening of the grapes, even at very high ripeness levels or during a rapid ripening process in hot climates. In combination with their fruitiness, successful Barbera wines therefore appear extremely full-bodied and rich. Among the most famous Barbera wines are the Barbera d'Alba, the Barbera d'Asti and the Barbera del Monferrato. In general, the Barbera d'Alba as the best. But the other two are hardly inferior, especially as the large DOC areas overlap at the edges and producers in these areas can choose how to label their wine. It is generally agreed that the vineyards located in the immediate vicinity of Alba and some scattered villages in the vicinity of Asti produce the best Barbera wines. SUPERIORE.DE
